My scanner is part of a printer/scanner combo, and it won't scan because it's out of ink!! Stupid thing... I should have some more ink arriving tomorrow or Tuesday. :)

This is my old boat!!! I would be interested in buying the photo if the owner is interested. I owned the one on Chatham empire pier. Interesting fact, the old girl had one more rescue in her, we got two folks out of the mud and got medals for it. They made a Rescue 999 about it. |

MTB 683. My parents bought this boat in 1957 for £250. We spent the next 20 + years living on it and converting it into a very comfortable houseboat with Central Heating etc. We always called it MTB 030 which is what is engraved on the brass ships plaque which I still have. I could go on for hours with details of all the work we did on it until it was sold, but should anyone be interested please let me know. I remember 683 was scribed on the side as well as the RAF roundal when it was converted to a high speed rescue craft. I was very upset to see it in such a poor state.

hi there
I bought this boat from Norman Niblock and lived on it for about 4 years before we sold it to an artist who did something really silly, not sure what, but we were VERY happy on it and you did an excellent job rebuilding it. I would be interested in buying the ships plaque if you are selling OR can offer a swap of a video we made the day before we bought it which shows it all in detail. ANYWAY hope to hear from you and I share your disgust that the moron did this to her. |

Hi there,
All great stuff, thanks for posting, drove past the empire wharf the other day on my way to Staples, now riverside where she lay developed into empire wharf flats! remains removed/destroyed/buried....artist silly thing? my understanding was she was being converted into a café?! but then caught fire and burned to the mud line, Johnk |
